Nonlinear Dynamics of Active and Passive Systems of Vibration Protection

With progress in technology, the problem of protecting human-beings, ma­ chines and technological processes from !>Ources of vibration and impact has become of utmost importance. Traditional "classical" methods of pro­ tection, based upon utilising elastic passive and dissipative elements, turn out to be inefficient in many situations and can not completely satisfy the complex and often contradict...
